Lawrence H. Summers Your efforts to portray student demonstrators challenging Israel's genocidal actions as 'anti-semitic' are cheap & disingenuous. These students should be commended for their courage & compassion, risking suspension & smears (like yours), to fight the most heinous crimes underway…

Read below and then think about how many of our American institutions have deep ties to these Israeli institutions that are defaming our students of all faiths. Is this acceptable?

Israel today assassinated the eldest daughter of our Professor Refaat Al-Areer (Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸), Al-Shaimaa, along with her husband and newborn baby. I am out of words, tears, and ways to comprehend this endless loss, this pain, this criminal annihilation of our people.

What we are witnessing now is but the latest stage of a pro-Israel politics in America that has lost the argument and has instead opted for repression, yesterday through speech code laws and now through the batons of police forces. The reliance on repression will only grow.

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.

Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.

For seven months our universities have actively denied the history and humanity of Palestinians.
For seven months they have repeatedly ghosted Palestinian solidarity protestors of all faiths.
For seven months they have said not a single word about the obliteration of…
